Favorite drama films?
FilmOdyssey on 8/21/2013 Reply · Like · (1 like)
The drama scenes in Inglourious Basterds are amazing! It's my favorite film of all time, but even though it's a great film, Shawshank Redemption is my favorite drama film. BTW, welcome to Flickchart! I hold an event like you every day called The Daily Question on my profile page. I have 1500+ comments so it might take you a long time to scroll down.

I love both of them mate. I have actually only seen Blade Runner once, and that was about four years ago. :O I don't know where it is, but it's very high on my list. It's really impressive how good it looks, considering how old it is. Some movies now, with all their cgi don't look as good as Blade Runner.I'm a big Tarantino fan, so Jackie Brown totally works for me. I'm also a fan of Pam Grier's 70's blaxploitation films such as Foxy Brown and Coffy. I enjoyed De Niro (my favourite actor) playing a character that wasn't cool and smart like he usually does. I loved the mall scene shot from the different perspectives. What about you, what did you think? :)

Re: Star Wars vs Empire. I'd go Star Wars over Empire, and actually Jedi is my favorite of the three. I was six when RotJ came out and I remember seeing it in the theater seven times. It's all about nostalgia with me....not necessarily which is the "better" movie. Bottom line is....I love all three.Now if I can make a request....see Hoop Dreams!!!! Free on Hulu right now.
Alright, I'll give it watch. Thanks for the recommendation. And yeah, Star Wars for me as well over Empire. And you are the first person that I've heard say they love Return the most, but it is a nostalgia thing.
Anything that you've got planned to watch soon? :)

Yep. I rewatched Star Wars last night, and I'm rewatching the trilogy this week. And tonight I'm watching Blade Runner for the 2nd time, didn't love it the first. Also, Good Will Hunting on Thrusday. and that's about it! How bout you?

Only God Forgives is Refn's masterwork, better than Drive. Mud is amazing. Pain & Gain is not that good, but if you turn your brain off you may enjoy it. And The Iceman I have not yet seen, but have heard good things about!

Only God Forgives is such a divisive movie! I really need to see it to make up my mind because people have very different thoughts on the movie. I'm glad you liked it. :) I'm going to also watch One False Move, which is apparently an amazingly underrated movie starring Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thorton (who also co-wrote the screenplay).

Just got out of The World's End! Funniest movie I've seen all year and better than Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
I go to the cinema (that's how we say it in Australia) four times a month. But I always squeeze them into one weekend. I live a long way from a cinema, so I wait until there is a bunch of movies to see before I go. I just watched Kick-Ass 2, Elysium, and The Way, Way Back this weekend that just finished (for me anyway).
That's a good way to do it! I live right near mine. Just a quick question, how do you look at your friend requests on Flickchart? And about to watch Good Will Hunting in a half hour, can't wait!

Yeah, like one time I was just scrolling around my page, and I went to my 'friend requests'. These people had asked to be my friend, and I accepted. I don't know how I did that.
How are you adding your movies? In order? You must be, you have so many recent movies at 46%. :)
Ummm... I'm not too sure actually lol. I just find movies I like or love and add them sorta. It's kind of a bit confusing, but I've been spending a lot of time on my top 100 lately.
With the friend requests, did you go to another page? That's what usually happens. Then you click approve, then they're just added. :)
I thought that there must of been some order to it all. Click on recently added movies, you'll see what I mean. :)
Did you end up seeing Good Will Hunting, mate. :)
Are you on Letterboxd? I will add you if you are. :)
Yep, Saw it last night and loved it! Blade Runner I saw the night before for the 2nd time and loved it also especially the ending! Going on a Star Wars run this afternoon with Empire, then Return tonight!
No, but I will get it. Hold on a sec.
Yeah, I see what you mean. That's interesting.
Yeah, it was another page I believe, but I don't know how I got to that page.

What's your favourite foreign movie?
I would have to say An American Friend or Amour. How about you?
I guess I will answer your question as a foreign language question. Because all American movies are foreign movies to me. :) Off the top of my head, I will say City of God and Kung Fu Hustle. What's An American Friend about? I've never heard of it before. I need to watch Amour, but not this weekend, I'm quite happy, I don't want that movie bringing me down. :)
It's about a guy who is convinced he's dying and his family is in need of money, so he agrees to assassinate a mafia guy. And yes, Amour is extremely sad. What are your thoughts on Fight Club and American Beauty? There my watches for the week :)
Wow, I like the sound of that movie! I'm adding it to my watchlist. :) It's been quite some years since i've seen both Fight Club and American Beauty, so I can't answer with 100% accurate. I do know I loved Fight Club, and enjoyed American Beauty. For me, Spacey makes American Beauty. While Fight Cub interested me in other ways. I would give Fight Club a 9.5/10, and American Beauty a 8/10.
Haha yeah it's spectacular! And I can't wait to revisit them both! Watching Return of the Jedi in a half hour, what are you planning on watching this week?
I'm guessing you meant The American Friend. I just added it on imdb. :)I will be watching Bullhead, One False Move, Two-Lane Blacktop and possibly Spider Baby. :)

I just made a ton of changes to my top 20.
I watched One False Move and Bullhead today. Both movies were great imo. :)
Awesome! Hey I have a question. The movie Heat, does it have much mature content in it? (earn it's R rating). I have not seen it in a while. and how was it?
Rewatching Heat, Braveheart, Taxi Driver, and Die Hard 3 this week.
Well, it has plenty of blood and death from that shootout. Was there a sex scene? I can't remember that part myself. It's been a long time since I re-watched movies.
Well, if there is sex, it's not an issue. I'm watching it with my sister and she doesn't really like language in films, and I forget all about it but we should be fine :). Do you have Instagram?
No I don't, should I? Language? Well, when a certain character is bleeding, I assume he'll be swearing. :)
Haha. And it's a site where you post pictures, and I mostly post pictures of movies. I guess you should. You need some sort of phone or something. What are some of your favorite 80's films?
My favorite movie director is ALFRED HITCHCOCK! Take a look at my all time favorite movies list and type in Alfred Hitchcock and you'd be surprised how many movies are high up on my list. Maybe you'll be surprised, maybe not but I love the man's work. Still, need to re-visit Vertigo so I'm pretty sure that if I love that movie, Hitchcock may be forever my favorite director.Favorite movie quote is a tough one. It could be any piece of dialogue in Pulp Fiction or it could also be "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" That's a tough one. Favorite movie scene of all time is almost impossible to answer but I'll say either "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!", or when Superman saves Lois in Superman: the Movie (why?, because when John Williams' music bombastically plays, it just affects me man! Also, the scene is awesome!) or the truck chase in Raiders of the Lost Ark. My favorite thing in Pulp Fiction is anything revolving around Jules but I love the entire film. I guess, its the "ENGLISH MOTHERF*CKER" scene! :) See you around man, there's a lot of catching up to do for usP.S: I hope you see Rear Window sometime in the future. :)
I love your new picture! Tyler Durden is the man. I am probably going to watch Nolan's Batman Trilogy in the next couple days. It is my favorite trilogy of all time.

It's just going to the YouTube home page when I open it.
Oh, sorry. If you wish to look at it, it's How Pacific Rim Should of Ended. :) I like the movie, but they could of done what they show. :)
Oh, yeah I saw that! It's by these people called Hishedotcom right? I watch all of those things. Yeah, I agree. Those are so entertaining though. I'm having a Batman marathon this afternoon to tomorrow night starting with 1989 Batman, working my way up to TDKR.
What, skipping the 60's movie? :)
Haha I would watch it but I don't own it, so I really can't. I really don't like it that much, either.
I like it, in a nostalgic way. I loved it as a kid! The fight on the sub used to be awesome. *BLAM!* *POW!*. Also loved the shark repellant, Batman looking for a place to throw a bomb (obviously not on the ducks! :D), and that the bad guys turned people into powder. :)
Yeah, it definitely had it's cool elements, but overall, not very good. But yes, as a kid it was amazing. If you were to rank Nolan's trilogy, how would you order them? Me? TDK, TDKR, BB.
That's the same as me mate. :)
*for me. :)
Whoops, I acciedently liked my own correction! :DWhat movies on your list of shame do you want to eWatch?
Funny you say that! Just a minute ago I took the main ones that I had to watch off my list of shame because I saw them. Rear Window, Vertigo, and Boogie Nights. Big fan of Hitchcock now! Now I want to see Hoop Dreams and Run Lola Run, Then everything will be great!
I enjoy both those movies. I think you can find some more in there that you will like. :)
Did you end up seeing Heat? Did your sister like it? :)
Yup! Saw it last night on VHS. She loved it, not that bad language or violence really, although there was some blood :). It was my 3rd viewing of the masterpiece. My profile views are just skyrocketing for some reason. Whenever I refresh the page there's 5 more.
It would be me for a few of them, you're answering pretty quickly, so I have to check. There's probably a few other people as well, some new people just having a look at different profiles.
Oh, okay. That makes sense haha.

Believe it or not Inception used to be my favorite movie, but it took a hit on my last viewing. I plan to watch it next week and I expect it to go up a few places. Return of the Jedi is actually my favorite Star Wars film...it always has been. I think it is the perfect end to the trilogy. If the third installment of a trilogy is fantastic it is usually my favorite. The Dark Knight Rises is my favorite as is Return of the King. I guess I'm a sucker for closers, Ha Ha.

Cheers for the add. See you have The Matrix at number 6. I think I've only seen it once, need to rewatch that soon. Likewise for the sequels, which I thought were disappointing compared to the original if I remember correctly

Hey guys! I'm starting school tomorrow, so I may not be spending as much time on Flickchart as usual. That being said, the question of the day will still happen as I get off school at 4:00. I will still be on here, just not as much. So the question of the day is: What is your favorite moment from your top 5 movies? Thanks, see you all later!-Robbie
Pulp Fiction- The ending scene ("I think we should be leaving Jules." "Yeah, that's probably a good idea.")The Dark Knight Rises- the last scene (it is just so emotional, and the perfec end to the trilogy)The Dark Knight- the last scene (A silent guardian, a watchful protector, a dark knight.)Return of the King- the part when they get to Mt. Doom and destroy the ring.Return of the Jedi- The entire Death Star throne room sequence (the final confrontation between Luke, the Emperor, and Darth Vader.)
The Matrix- Lobby SceneInglourious Basterds- The last sceneThe Shawshank Redemption- The revealing of the tunnel scene.Die Hard- The last sceneThe Shining- HERE'S JOHNNY!

Fav of the 1980s and 90s-Indiana Jones trilogy-Empire Strikes Back-The Lion King-Die Hard-Shawshank Redemption-Pulp Fiction-Toy Story 1 and 2There are much more but those are probably my favorites! Funnily enough, I started Batman 1989 in the morning today and I think it's pretty good so far. There are a lot of over the top moments with the Joker that I don't fancy

Raiders of the Lost Ark is my favorite Indy movie, this is also my favorite childhood movie along with pixar movies like the incredibles and the original star wars series and toy story 3 is my favorite toy story movie
Hey man, am I allowed to ask a question that you and others can answer? I'm not aware of it. My question is, what are your least favorite movies from your favorite directors! It must be noted that I need to re-watch several films. There will be one absolute shocker but I'm getting around to it soon.1) Hitchcock: Spellbound, Vertigo2) Tarantino: Death Proof3) Speilberg: Schindler's List, (never understood it when I first saw it. I didn't care for films as much then so yeah...), Indy 4 (don't hate it, enjoy it a bit actually)4) Nolan- Dark Knight Rises (don't really care for it!)

Thanks for the contribution man! Yeah, Death Proof sucks, Vertigo I actually love but I could understand why somebody doesn't like it. TDKR is the weakest of Nolan's trilogy, and Schindler's List I love. I would say:1) Nolan: Insomnia (Even though I liked it a lot, it's Nolan's worst. Not that that's saying much)2) Tarantino: Kill Bill Volume 1 (Hated it, loved Volume 2 though!)3) Scorcese: The Aviator (Boring as hell)

For the question of the day, I would like to know what movie made you love movies? Thanks guys for answering daily, this has been great so far. The whole experience has been amazing thanks to you guys!
THE LORD OF THE RINGS FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING! The opening minute of that movie changed my life two years ago. Howard Shore's music affects me so much and everything about those films is so fricking awesome. The prologue to FoTR, Gandalf's death and the awesome Bridge of Khazad-dum theme as well as Boromir's ultimate sacrifice changed my life.I would also say that 12 Angry Men changed my view of films. The original Godfather to some extent too though!

The impact films can have on you is incredible. Shawshank and Green Mile affected me so much emotionally when I watched them and the emotion in Shawshank holds up on repeat viewings. Yet to watch The Green Mile again!What movies have made you cry or got you teared up? Mine would be Shawshank, Green Mile (I actually cried!), Return of the King and Forrest Gump (on a first viewing)
Casablanca
Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Shawshank Redemption, and Saving Private Ryan all changed how I viewed movies and there are other, but those were the main ones.

I will answer the questions I missed.Dumb and Dumber, and Vampire's Kiss are my favourite comedies.I prefer Django Unchained, but it's a close one.My favourite is RaidersChildhood favourites (what I watched on VHS the most) are Jurassic Park, Dumb and Dumber, Milo & Otis, Wind in the Willows, Quigley Down Under, The Beverly Hillbillies, E.T, Yogi Bear's Great Escape, Dennis the Menace, and the two Home Alone movies.Toy Story 3 is my favourite.I think it was Milo & Otis that made me love movies. It is actually the first movie I ever remember seeing. I would guess that I was five when I got taken to the drive-in to watch it. What an experience! I still remember how I laughed, felt sad, and was scared at this movie. The movie really drew me in, even at that age.

So you can just see how much I love that movie. :D However, I'm not one of these lame fanboys (*cough* squaremaster *cough*, *cough* yellowjacket *cough*) who attacks anyone who says anything bad about the films. To be honest, I don't give a shit. :D I have more important things to think about. No, I'm not saying any of you guys are attacking the film, I'm just talking in general here. :)Dinelka, I don't think Robbie was addressing the comment to you. I think it was just in general, like I did above. :) Am I right Robbie? :)
You are correct! I love the trilogy so much, all 3 are so strong in their own ways. The Dark Knight surprised me the most seeing that it was the sequel to one of my favorite movies at the time, so I didn't think it would be nearly as good. Perhaps that's why it's my favorite.
I thought you just meant in general. I didn't think you would say something like that to Dinelka.
Oh that's StLionsCricket's name in real life? Cuz in your previous comment I was like whatchu talking about? LOL. Anyways, I'm watching The Rock tonight!

But, Cronos is on your recently added movies, what's with that?Oh, I didn't even think about the confusion calling him Dinelka would cause, sorry about that. :)I watch movies as much as possible, I love them. But you have to prioritise sometimes. I haven't been busy today, so I watched Trance and The Fearless Vampire Killers. But sometimes I go a week without seeing a movie.
Oh, must be an accident. Maybe I added it by accident, not too sure. And that's good. I mostly stick to marathons. In the middle of a Batman marathon, finished The Dark Knight last night, Rises is due up this afternoon.
Are you going to remove Cronos?So Rises this afternoon and The Rock tonight?
Probably I will remove it. And yeah, I watch a lot of movies haha. Any movies you have planned for the next week or so?
I just think it should definitely be removed, otherwise your list isn't true.I'm watching a movie right now called The Door starring Mads Mikkelsen. Two-Lane Blacktop, Exiled, 2 Days in Paris, Ice Station Zebra, The Wind That Shakes the Barley, Cafe De Flore, and Incedies are my options. Not sure what I'll pick. :)

I love Silence of the Lambs, it is probably my second favorite thriller of all time (Se7en is my favorite). Jodie Foster and Ted Levine are brilliant and Anthony Hopkins gives one of the best performances of all time.
Great picks for your favorite thrillers. I think I'm gonna watch Aliens tonight instead of The Rock.
Yeah, Rocky and Jaws are two classics I haven't seen though I'd like to. I have seen most of Rocky.
Do you guys prefer Drive or Inception?
I need to give Drive another go, I really liked it, but I didn't love it like everyone else seems to. Inception on the other hand is in my top 10 and used to be my favorite movie.
Both are masterpieces in my opinion. Inception is much better though. And yes, gotta give it another go for sure. It's the kind of film that demands multiple viewings.

Thanks man, you have some great classics in your top 20. Good to see Fincher's masterpieces in there.As for the 1987 Predator, I think it's decent at best. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of John McTiernan (I don't get the appeal of Die Hard, to be honest). But Predator is fairly entertaining, and it as a pretty good climax. I don't have the love for it as a lot of other people do, but I enjoyed it. Schwarzenegger wasn't that great, in my opinion.

Never read the book. Sounds great though.
Yeah, I love the first two Godfather films and to be honest I love the third one as well, just not nearly as much. I switch back and forth between 1 and 2 as my favorite. As you can see from the order of my list I prefered 1 on my last viewing. I plan to watch them again soon. I completely agree with everything you said about them. I also think Pacino gives a better performance than Brando and he is even better in Part II. I would argue that they are probably the two greatest films of all time, but not quite my favorites. They are perfect in my eyes.
I just love the last 30 minutes of The Godfather where Michael Corleone consolidates his power. What's so brilliant about it is that it isn't portrayed as Michael "rising up," rather it is him "falling." The story is a tragedy and Coppola showed it as such. It's not quite my favorite movie of all time but, being objective, it probably is the greatest film ever made.
Probably. That and Pulp Fiction.

Really Social Network is your favorite film of his? Wow. First time I've heard somebody say that. Brilliant film with great performances, but it's recent so I cannot say that it could beat Fight Club or Se7en. Or even Zodiac for that matter.
I've got a weakness for great dialogue, so that may be why I hold the movie in such high regard.

Here's a great one! Die Hard or The Matrix?
Definitely Die Hard for me. I only just saw The Matrix for the first time about two months ago so I have absolutely no nostalgia for it. Don't get me wrong it is a damn good film, but it can't touch John McClane in my book.
The Matrix would be my pick, but they are number 7 and 8 on my top 10.
Love both, two of my top 5 action films as of now for sure. Die Hard has the edge because it is simply more fun to sit through though The Matrix has so many jaw dropping moments. Die Hard wins due to Willis' endearing personality and charm as an actor!
Matrix

RE: Predator. Easily my favorite Arnie movie. I was 10 when it came out, and I was actually scared to death to see it. Back then gore really bothered me...so I would ask all my friends about the deaths, plot, etc....so it just built up to this awesome experience before I ever saw it. Once I finally did....loved it of course. I love the idea of the creature picking the commandos off one by one....basically imitated in hundreds of movies since. Just a great movie...and it stands up well even 26 years later.

It took about six months for me to make an accurate top 100. After 19 months on Flickchart, I'm still not happy about my top 200. :)Ranking movies is tough because one's opinion of a movie can change from month to month.
On Flickchart...the work is never done. *Evil laugh*
Yeah, it's funny. Top 200 is a lot harder to have a solid list.
Haha
I loved Fargo. The story was unlike any crime film I've ever seen and it was executed very well. The acting was top notch and it had great moments of suspense. It's a great thriller.

Hey there, started going through the old classics like Rebecca and The Great Escape? Good stuff! And in-between a solid new movie like Dredd, can't get any better.If you're looking for something similar to The Great Escape, I'd suggest Stalag 17, it's a comedy but a damn fine one! Or another POW movie, Rescue Dawn, with Christian Bale and (belive it or not) Steven Zahn.

These are moviesi might appreciate more now I'm a bit older than the last time I saw them.VertigoCitizen KaneRear WindowThe Third Man
Nice to see The Conjuring on your list! That's a brilliant horror film. I just picked up Star Trek: Into Darkness on Blu-Ray and enjoyed it more than I did the first time in theaters. Iron Man 3 was fantastic, surpasses 2 but Iron Man is easily the best of the trilogy. The Way, Way Back was pretty good! And Man of Steel was a great movie, although I do agree with most critics in saying it was an action overload at times. I can't wait for all of those! Have you heard of Don Jon with Joseph Gordon-Levitt? It's coming out soon. The Hobbit 2 is looking to be better than the first if were comparing the trailers. Thor 2 will be better than Thor unless it's horrible, because I really disliked Thor. The Wolf of Wall Street and The Counselor will not disappoint, considering they both have great directors working on the film.And that sucks. I've heard of that release date problem, apparently it's in other countries as well. You should move to America haha! And those movies you need to re-watch are all masterpieces. Vertigo and Citizen Kane are all time favorites of mine, even though they are both lingering around 100-150 on my list. Rear Window is Hitchcock's best film in my opinion.
Yeah, I've head of Don Jon, but I'm limited to five movies, so it didn't make the cut. I'm not sure if it comes out in Australia. It'll probably be a January or February release.You can't wait for all those? Have you heard of The Turning? I will be impressed if you have. :)Not having a go, but I don't think I would suit America. :)I think I need to see Citizen Kane the most of the films I listed because it really didn't work for me at all!
Don Jon looks spectacular! Yep, Citizen Kane is due for a re-watch with me as well. I'm hoping it will make it's way into my top 50. And no, I have not heard of The Turning. Is it any good? Maybe I'll check it out.
Re-watch? Hm...- Inglourious Basterds, it's been 4 years! - Star Wars old trilogy, that never gets old...- Aliens, been quite a whileand many more probably.
Here are some movies that need to be WAY higher on my chart. I just haven't seen them in AGES!!!Citizen KaneTaxi DriverOriginal Star Wars trilogyGodfather 1 & 2
Fellowship of the RingThe Empire Strikes BackDie HardAliens Saving Private RyanTerminator 2
What do you think of Southern Comfort? It's a movie I've wanted to see for some time. :)
I found Southern Comfort to be completely average. It's definitely a good film, but it has nothing that sets itself apart from other films of it's genre. Nothing special.
It's a three hour Australian movie with 17 short stories from 17 different directors based off author Tim Winton. So, it's pretty hard to judge if it's for you, probably not. It's going to be a unique cinema experience for me because it has an intermission halfway through. The main reason I want to see it because my cousin is in it, so I'm biased. :)

I wanna have a Nolan marathon but a Speilberg one even more, but he has too many movies to get through that I won't be able to finish all of them before October, so maybe during November or December!! Until then, I guess no marathons. Anything you got planned? Seems like Empire is your favourite again! Did you re-watch it or was it just a change of mind?

It pulled me in, and was extremely interesting. About to re-watch some old 90's action films like The Rock, Con Air and Point Break.

Well, Braveheart is #2 on my list, but it actually probably be #3 or #4 behind Jedi and maybe Shawshank. I know Gibson took some liberties in telling the story, but I simply love everything about it. Acting, scenery, story, the music...just blew my mind upon first viewing. Heat is simply my favorite Heist movie ever. I don't really consider it an actual "action" movie, but if it was...it's right there with Die Hard. Heat has it's holes too...but the best movies, at least for me, are experiences...something I'll never forget. Both Braveheart and Heat qualify....

I'm in Year 11 and boy, watching movies is getting harder and harder :) Still, giving it my best! I re-watched TTT yesterday----FRICKING LOVED IT! Moved from 5 to 2 on my list! Left me speechless by the end. Watching RoTK now!!! Dr. Strangelove was quite entertaining for the most part, nothing really wowed me about the film like it does for others but it was quite enjoyable. :)OMG, don't you dare get me started on Fellowship!! Mesmerizing :) Jackson's attention to detail is immaculate!! Such an amazing film. The score, my word! That music is probably some of the greatest ever!
Finished Disk 1 of RoTK extended edition. Damn awesome!! I re-watched The Lion King and boy, I thought it had enough to make it to my 3rd favourite. RoTK might take that today but I kinda hope it doesn't. I don't like having the LoTR trilogy at 1, 2 and 3 if you know what I mean!Good luck with LoTR. I started it late 2 days ago, finishing it this afternoon :D Plan to then watch films I didn't initially like as well as maybe 2 more Hitchcock films. :) Fellowship will probably still be my favourite :D A lot of people here do prefer it over the King!

LoTR is all finished!!!
Woops, no idea what happened butFellowship----Mind blowing in every aspectTTT- Under-estimated just how brilliant this film is. Serkis, McKellen, Mortensen and Christopher Lee give the strongest performances. Seriously tell me what you think of these four actors and their performances :) The first half hour introduces every story element perfectly and the Battle of Helm's Deep is mind blowing!!!RoTK- The PERFECT conclusion for any trilogy/franchise. Almost no fault with the film at all, just unbelievable!! The action scenes are killer awesome, the story wraps up perfectly and I LOVE the "never ending" endings! Serkis shines in this film even more. In fact, Disc 1 of RoTK is so briskly paced in my opinion that it makes Disc 2 even better. That sounded odd but really, the whole film is paced perfectly. Best 4 hours of my life :DHow's LoTR going for you?I'm re-watching Citizen Kane and Predator today, both classics I initially didn't enjoy. Tomorrow would probably be Cuckoos Nest! :)
Wow, looks like TTT and ROTK have really made a jump on your list :D My thoughts on The Matrix are: Awesome movie, visually spellbinding. Well directed, great action sequences and an awesome story! 10/10Ferris Beuller's Day Off- Good fun film, great moments but also moments that aren't that special. 7/10Rocky- Great protagonist written, well paced, good enough story and well executed. Not the biggest fan of Rocky but still.... 7/10Now, Predator tonight. Speaking of Rocky, I'll try to re-watch Raging Bull before the start of October. Have you got a Horror-a-thon planned for next month?

Jessep: *You can't handle the truth!* [pauses] Col. Jessep: "Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post..."You could cut the tension with a knife!!!3.

I'm gonna be watching To Catch a Thief tonight!
Nice. Wait, this is the 1955 Hitchcock film right? I saw it a couple of days ago and thought it was pretty good. Good enough. Certainly is nowhere near Hitchcock's best but passable. Worth a single viewing imo! :)

RE: Riddick. I definitely enjoyed it more than Chronicles. It was essentially the same thing as Pitch Black, they just simply went back to what worked. Chronicles was undone by the bizarre decision to make a PG-13 movie...the dude is a rated R character. Overall, it wasn't mind blowing or anything new...but I really enjoyed it.

Planning a Tarantino marathon.
My favorite director.
I love pretty much everything about The Dark Knight Rises. It is the perfect end to the trilogy and all the tie ins to the first two are amazing. Tom Hardy as Bane may very well be my favorite film villain of all time and it is a very emotionally charged film which I love.

It's a top 25 film :D I do plan to watch The Big Lebowski sometime. Just not overly interested as of now. Every performance in Cuckoos Nest is perfect. I'll put up a Letterboxd review today :)

Hey man, I feel like simply giving you my favourite Hitchcock film doesn't feel like I'm giving the man justice. He's my favourite director of all time. Hitchcock's top 10 films are in my top 50 (3 of these I've seen twice, the rest once each) 1. Rear Window at 162. North by Northwest at 253. Vertigo at 334. Rebecca at 395. Dial M for Murder at 406. The 39 Steps at 417. Notorious at 448. Psycho at 459. The Lady Vanishes at 4910. Rope at 50Then there's 11. Strangers on a Train at 5512. Shadow of a Doubt at 5613. Young and Innocent at 68 I just thought I'd let you know. Suspicion is okay in my opinion. Not really a fan. It's around 170 on my Flickchart but I guess it could be lower! Yesterday, I finished my 20th Hitchcock film and now I'm uncertain on what Hitchcock film to watch next.

Yep, E.T does pass The Lion King. I've seen The Lion King 4 times and E.T twice. My second viewing absolutely left me speechless. I thought long and hard. After I re-watched it, I placed it at #14 but the more and more I contemplated that decision, the more and more I felt I love it more and more. In fact, I might have to give the edge to E.T over The Two Towers. The day after re-watching E.T, I knew I had no choice but to re-watch Raiders because it was dropping. I thought to myself, if I like Raiders a little less, then I prefer E.T over it but nah, Raiders blew me away. Back to #2! :) E.T is awesome! :) Now Psycho is in my top 10 after a re-watch. My favourite horror film all of a sudden and did a mighty fine job in becoming my favourite Hitchcock film! :)
I'll put reviews of Raiders and Psycho in the next few days...wait, I already posted Raiders an hour ago!! :) Yeah, Psycho is just amazing! Those twists are incredibly well concealed and executed! The suspense, the atmosphere, the cinematography and Anthony Perkins are just incredible!!! Hitchcock is most definitely, absolutely positively my favourite director! I've seen 20 of his films, I think about 13 of them are in my top 60 and out of all of them, Psycho edges to the top now! That might change when I re-visit North by Northwest next month but Psycho comfortably for now! :)I just LOVE Lord of the Rings! Easily my favourite trilogy. I also LOVE Empire and Star Wars but forgive me, I am not that much of a fan of Return of the Jedi. I just don't find it especially good. It pales in comparison to the previous two and even to avoid comparisons, it just doesn't satisfy me. Sorry man! :) I know a lot of people who LOVE Jedi, my good friend JC13 has it at #2 but I just find it somewhat dull. Apart from the stuff with Vader, the Emperor and Luke, everything else is either stupid or repetitive to me.
Hey man, seeing as how your knowlegable on films which of these should I re-visit tonight: Alien 1979 or The Thing 1982? It's part of my Horror-a-thon and I need to re-visit both as I didn't like them much the first time!

It was in my top 10 for quite some time but then re-watched it and it really fell down a lot of places on my list. :( I'll get around to it sometime by the end of the year I suppose! :)

The way that the entire film builds up to the Helm's Deep battle is incredible and I LOVE each bit of character development in the film. I love everything about Return of the King though I'll give the edge to TTT because of the final battle and the amazing character development

I did watch ALL the Home Alone films when I was around 10 and I'll probably get around to the first two later this year though seeing as how I'm Buddhist, we don't celebrate Christmas but still, good fun movies! :) Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a movie I've yet to see and must get around toBelieve it or not, I've now seen Raiders 7 times since the end of last year (which was my first viewing of it) and the first time, I wasn't pleased at all. The second viewing, I came to enjoy it much more but was still disappointed in ways. The third viewing made me start to really enjoy the film as a whole and every subsequent viewing of the film made me love it more and more more!! I'll definitely get around to your Jaws review :D

I saw your question about what movies make me feel like I'm experiencing childhood again the other day. I need a bit of clarifications. Do you mean movies I watched when I was younger? Or movies I watched as an adult that make me feel like I'm experiencing childhood?I need to think about what movies give me a good scare as well. I'm not easily frightened.
No movies truly scare me today. There are those horror movies today that gets all quiet and then BAM!!! Some loud sound abruptly appears out of nowhere. But that's more annoying than truly scary. So I'll just list my 3 favorite films that belong to the horror genre:1. Psycho2. Alien3. JawsNow as a kid, there were movies that did indeed truly scare me:1. The Exorcist2. Poltergeist3. The Amityville Horror (the original one)As I mentioned earlier, today's horror movies don't genuinely scare you, but they do use the jump-scare tactics. Again, most of them are more annoying and predictable than scary, but there are some that I actually enjoyed but really don't have much desire to watch them again:1. The Ring (the first one)2. Scream (the first one)3. Mirrors (the first one)4. Insidious (the first one)5. Jeepers Creepers (the first one)

Thanks man! I can't say a single bad thing about your top 10. All 10 are masterpieces as far as I'm concerned. It's great to see someone with similar taste in movies.I definitely want to see Blade Runner, but I'm not sure when I'll get around to it. I'm currently in the middle of a Kubrick marathon. I'll probably watch Eyes Wide Shut tonight and Barry Lyndon tomorrow. After that I'll rewatch 2001, Dr. Strangelove, and A Clockwork Orange. Yesterday I rewatched Inception and today I rewatched Raiders. Tomorrow I'll watch Temple of Doom and Last Crusade the next day.

What movies will you guys be watching this weekend? I'm giving The Place Beyond The Pines a re-watch tonight, then going to see Captain Phillips on Sunday. On Saturday I'll be re-watching some classic horror films.

Watching Double Indemnity as we speak. Want to watch Godfather 1 and 2 but may not get around to it this weekend. They're so long and taxing that I have to set aside ample time. Otherwise, I'll have to watch them in pieces.

Nearly Saturday here. I watched Welcome to the Punch, which I thought was average. It's one of those movies that assumes it will get a sequel (*cough* The Losers* cough*) so it's ending is unsatisfying. I just watched Ugetsu, and also Project Nim. I gave both 5/5 on Letterboxd. I think I will watch Intermission and maybe The Public Enemy next.

I'll be watching Last Crusade tomorrow and I guarantee it will go up. Whether or not it will repass Raiders remains to be seen.I really liked Eyes Wide Shut, but it is towards the bottom of my Kubrick rankings. Here they are so far (I'm watching Barry Lyndon today):1. A Clockwork Orange2. Dr. Strangelove3. Spartacus4. Full Metal Jacket5. The Shining6. Paths of Glory7. The Killing8. Eyes Wide Shut9. Lolita10. 200111. Killer's Kiss
I've seen six Kubrick's. I can't believe you ranked 2001 that low! That's his masterpiece if you ask me. The most deeply profound film I've ever seen. I guess it shouldn't surprise me though as most people either absolutely love it or absolutely hate it. There's really not much in between with it. It's my personal favorite from Kubrick though.1. 2001: A Space Odyssey2. Dr. Strangelove3. The Shining4. A Clockwork Orange5. Full Metal Jacket6. Eyes Wide Shut

You all have named all of my favorite De Niro flicks except two: Cape Fear and Righteous Kill.Cape Fear is the most underrated and forgotten De Niro flick out there. It's a great movie! I personally love it because it was actually a different role for De Niro and showed us that he is actually versatile. He proved that he can do more than be a tough guy with ties to the mafia. I had to get used to his southern accent in Cape Fear, but he really pulled it off wonderfully. Great movie. Need to see it if you haven't.Righteous Kill is one of those movies that folks just love to hate on. I thought it was very good. Is it as good as Heat? No. Goodfellas? No. Casino even? Umm... no. But it's still a very good movie nonetheless.

LordMaxykins on 10/14/2013 Reply · Like · (1 like)
1. The Wolf of Wall Street2. The Counselor3. The Monuments Men4. Inside Llewyn Davis5. 12 Years A SlaveHM: -Gravity (it'd be my number as it hasn't been released where I live, but it's already out in most places so it doesn't really count)-The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug (I actually liked the first Hobbit film, except for its unforgiving, lengthy runtime and I'm hoping the sequel will be an overall improvement. Plus, I love Lord of the Rings, so I'll probably enjoy it)-American Hustle-Out of the Furnace
I heard that The Wolf of Wall of Street's runtime was too long, so they're having to cut it down and apparently its release date is being pushed back due to this. Does anyone know if it will be postponed or will the original release date be kept?
And I was meant to say Gravity would be my number 1 on my first comment. I am sorry for posting multiple comments as well.

My biggest problem with Pacific Rim was the characters. I don't care about or connect with a single one of them! Overall the film was still entertaining, but it could have been so much more.Yeah I'm having a little mini Spielberg marathon. Believe it or not that was my first viewing of ET and Jaws! I plan to watch Schindler's List and also rewatch Saving Private Ryan (I've only seen it once).

Sorry Robbie, I have been very tired from work this week. I keep missing your questions. But, i will make up for it now.The movie with a strong message for me was Tokyo Story. It really made me think how I could go see my nana more often.I think The Way, Way Back has potential to become a relaxing movie for me, we'll see. Um, it's probably not any classics like Indy or Taxi Driver (too switched on when watching). If I'm really want to be relaxed, movies like Home Alone, Vampire's Kiss, Dumb and Dumber would work for me.
Vampire's Kiss is a really underrated movie. Yeah, I really enjoyed The Way, Way Back as well. Have not yet seen Tokyo Story, but I will get around to it eventually. Thanks for the response!

I plan to watch quite a few actually. But none are in the cinemas. You see, I live a long way from a cinema, so I pack them all in a weekend. :) I want to see Silver Bullet, Salt of the Earth, They Were Expendable, The Bad and the Beautiful, Spider Baby, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, and Body Heat. :) Not so sure how successful I will be watching them all, but I will try. Many of them are movies I wouldn't of watched before (e.g They Were Expndable, Salt of the Earth, The Bad and the Beautiful) I'm trying to expand the type of films I watch. I hope you like the Film Junk podast. It takes some people a few eps to get used to the guys. But they really are funny when you listened to them for a while. Slionscricket also listens to the premium eps. I personally don't want to use my credit card over the Internet to buy an ep, even if it's 99c! :D I'm not very trusting of technology you see. There was actually a guy that lost two million dollars off an Internet scam not too far away from where I live.

Yep, I have to choose. But it's usually at the end of the month, so I don't have too much worries. Sometimes I'm too late and the movies are already gone! Such as The World's End, that only lasted about two weeks in Australia before it was gone. The movie I missed out on this trip was Two Guns, which I wasn't really worried about. I much preferred watching Gravity twice. Plus the prices are ridiculous Robbie. It's $19 for a normal ticket, and $26 for an IMAX ticket! That doesn't include the $12 for a drink and popcorn. How about Canada Robbie, the prices decent in cinemas up there? Or do you call them theatres up there? :)
Theatre is only used for where they show plays over here.12 dollars! Man, you're lucky. Our dollar is quite similar, so the prices shouldn't be so different.Jack Black kicking Baxter in Anchorman. :DI'm older than you, I'm in my 20's, and I work in a job that makes you only work four days a week. very long days, though.I will have to get back to you for my top ten last year.

I'm loving the month of horror, having such a great time that I'm watching horror movie after horror movie. On the weekend, I watched 2 horror films from the 40s back to back. It's been a ton of fun! Never seen AMC Fear Fest though I've got a few sites from where to check what films I might see. I torrent every SINGLE movie! Sad that the horror-thon is coming to an end but this viewing experience has given me more of a love for the genre! Thanks man! :)

Haven't seen a whole lot of movies from 2012. Here's how I'd rank the ones I've seen:1. The Dark Knight Rises2. The Avengers3. Looper4. Prometheus5. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey6. Monsters Inc.7. Cabin in the Woods
I'm glad you enjoyed Kick-Ass 2. I'll probably re-watch it as soon as it comes on Blu-ray but I did not enjoy Pacific Rim. It had some fun action but when the film strays away from the action, it is dull to me. The characters, story, script and direction all fell apart for me. I wasn't blown away by the action scenes but I really enjoyed most though the best parts of the film were the visuals and Idris Elba, probably the only good performance alongside Ron Pearlman who was also great. I'll actually post a Letterboxd review soon!I've hit a few horror classics. Psycho, Alien, The Thing, Nightmare on Elm Street, Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, Nosferatu, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Dracula 1931, Freaks, The Wolf Man, Cat People and a couple of others. I'm trying my best to re-watch as little as possible and watch as many as possible for a first viewing. Halloween is a definite re-watch on Halloween and I'll probably also re-watch Silence of the Lambs because I missed something the first time. Otherwise, everything would probably be first time watches. I'll also probably end up re-watching The Exorcist by the end of the year but not during this marathon. Great to see you having an Indy-thon! :) My love for Raiders grew ages ago but my love for Last Crusade mainly grew on my previous viewing. I was just in awe the whole time! I was more numbed to the story, acting, music and characters in Last Crusade and Raiders than anything in Pacific Rim. That's how I felt about the latter! :)
Well, damn Flickchart has worked for you! 92 friends already! :)
